"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday and explained the culture of fear that permeates the news business during this election season.
<b>"There are all these minefields out there for Barack Obama that I think the press has been tiptoeing through," </b>Scarborough said. He continued, <b>"If you attack Hillary Clinton, we have found, there are organizations out there that will bombard your sponsors, that will call the president of your network and will say, 'Get that person off the air.' </b>Media people are living in fear."
